1990 Ford Granada Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent large car with bags of room"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater matrix went just after purchase.
Track rod ends replaced at each MOT.
Lots of tyres.
Idle control valve replaced at 100K.
Serious water loss and cylinder head troubles, solved with short motor replacement.
General comments?
Good on the juice, but parts are expensive from the dealer.
Bags of room, superb comfort.
Starting to show its age now with rust appearing on the rear arches.
Erratic electrics, especially the 'check control' on the dash, works when it feels like it!!!
